In RoboCup, robots must make quick decisions under
uncertainty. To this end, this paper introduces a new approach to
enable humanoid soccer robots to execute kicks quickly and ensure that
they move the ball down field. This paper presents a kick engine
capable of kicking at a variety of distances and angles and then
describes a novel kick decision method for selecting from among a
large set of possible kicks. This method prunes and orders the kicks
according to a metric and then chooses the first possible kick that
ensures that our field position is improved. For the RoboCup 2010
challenge events, we took a more cautious approach, taking additional
time to line up the ball and being more conservative in our kick
selection.
These methods proved successful at RoboCup 2010, as our UT
Austin Villa team came in third in the soccer competition and second
in the challenges.
